[clamav-users] clamd using ~1GB memory on Debian Stretch

[Avinash Sonawane]

Hello!

I'm using ClamAV 0.100.3/25448 on Debian Stretch. It's a default
install without any tweaks (as far as I remember).

As seen from the below top o/p, without any active scan clamd is using
~1Gb memory. That's unacceptable. May I know how do I reduce clamd
memory usage?

PID USER     PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM  TIME+ COMMAND
8164 clamav  20  0 1255316  988.1m  31296 S   0.0 25.9  0:50.44 clamd

Thanks!
